Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of 16 mL of 0.00046 M HClO4(aq) after dilution to 42 mL.

Verified Answer :

1000\(cm^{3}\) of HClO_{4} [/tex] contain 0.00046mol
16\(cm^{3}\) of HClO_{4} [/tex] contain  x
                       x = 
\(\frac{16cm ^{3} * 0.00046mol}{1000cm x^{3} }\)
                       x = 0.00000736mol


\(M_{1} V_{1} = M_{2} V_{2}\)
(0.00000736mol)(16\(cm^{3}\))= \((x) (42cm^{2})\)
         \(x= \frac{(0.00000736mol) * (16cm^{3}) }{42cm^{3} }\)
                  =  0.000002803mol


pH= -log [\(H^{+}\)]
    = -log (0.000002803cm\(^{3}\)
    = 5.55
